ABOUT OFFICE LOGISTICS

If you have Office Logistics on your side rest assured the administrative and secretariat issues are going to be ironed out without you having to worry about it.

By utilising the services of a professional secretariat like Office Logistics, the membership experience is delivered in a timely and professional manner, increasing the likelihood of retention.

Working with Office Logistics means the Executive Committee can focus its energies on the organisation’s objectives rather than spending time on its administration, knowing that great customer service and value is being delivered to your members.

Our History

Since starting the business in 1997, Donna Bennett has been providing secretariat services and editor support to professional and industry associations, academics and the business community.

As her team grew it became necessary to describe the expanded services offered and in 2002 the Office Logistics trading name was established.

Office Logistics has continued to grow and in July 2009 registered as a company. Office Logistics employs a team of 6 and moved from Donna’s home into its own premises at the start of 2011.

Today Donna and her team are working hard to deliver efficient, professional support services to organisations of all sizes. Leveraging modern technologies and knowledge, Office Logistics can support your organisation as you strive for new goals.

If you’re wondering whether you will have the time to focus on the goals you have set because of an avalanche of paperwork, it is time to join hands with us and create a happier working environment.

Donna Bennett

Founder

Donna Bennett has over 20 years’ secretarial and administrative experience in various roles, including an administrative role at Queensland University of Technology for five years where she worked closely with numerous academics. This provided the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge and experience in the secretariat operations of academic associations and journals.

Donna then built a business that allowed her to continue her career while raising a family. Many have since outsourced work to her business based on its reputation of knowledge, experience, speed and efficiency. One of the key values in her business is enabling skilled people to continue working without sacrificing their families.
